Fang-Man arrived today with his left foot put on backwards. Hopefully they have a customer service stock left over for an exchange. Between my two bad Granamyrs and this, I'm starting to get concerned for the rest of the year. . . especially for Castle Grayskull.

Once Photog is announced for MOTUC, I will have no idea what to put here.

So, back in January my Netossa had Glue all over her face like this.netossa.jpg
I finally got her replacement, which looks like this.Chesty.jpg
What are these people doing at the factory? They are running out of the optimal places to dump glue. I guess I am the only lucky one who gets all the Netossa's that have been used and abused like this?

Seriously, does anyone know how to get the glue off of the figure without hurting it? If I can't then I get to send this one back as well. It's too bad no one looks at these things they send out when they send out replacement ones. I have not had one good return experience with DR yet. Crazy, I know.

( I will also post this in the customs forum to see if anyone can help me with the glue problem.)

Yeah, jerec350, that glob of paint on the nose is pretty inexcusable. And from the sound of it, mine's not the only one with an off-center crown. Really, how hard is it to AIM properly?!

Like I said, we're buying sight unseen, and these figures are way too expensive for this sort of sloppiness to be happening. It doesn't have to, and it needs to stop. I want to see Masters (and, for that matter, the DC Signature Series), last for many years to come, but Mattel seriously needs to address things like this, because we all know they're capable of better results.

Are you guys sure the crown is a separate piece? I think the hair, head and crown are all one mold. This might explain why he has the droopy lip.

Yeah, my crown is off center too now that I look at it closer. I was under the impression it was all one piece but now I'm starting to wonder. I may have to try the boil and pop and see if I can pry it off.

Please post when you do. Mine is very crooked as well.

The Fwoosh's King He-man is crooked too...they might all be like that. Does anyone have one where the center of the crown actually alines with the center of his face?

It's definitely more than one piece. Given the complexity of the design, I think it would be nearly impossible to mold that crown as part of a single-piece head. Also, since I've seen pictures of several different King He-Man figures where the alignment of the crown is slightly different (although interestingly, none of them seem to be right on the money), I think there's the conclusive proof that the top of the head is a separate piece.

Let us all know if boiling the head weakens the glue enough for removal and realignment. I wonder if it might be possible to just soften the glue enough to twist the top around a little and then let it reset...?

Is it just me or are Spector's legs not on correctly?

or do Spector's legs look like they're not on correctly? I was looking at him yesterday, and something doesn't look right to me. In comparing him with Trap Jaw, it looks like they're not, but as his legs are sheer black, it's harder to tell. What say you all? spector.jpg

I received my Shokoti and Castaspella yesterday. Castaspella's wheel was broken right out of the package and Shokoti has paint chipping on her eye brow. I guess I will begin the LENGTHY Matty exchange process.

GOt a MArzo and Keldor from a memeber on anotehr board, I can tell he took care of the figures, but Marzos sword paint is chipping all over the place looks liek it's a custom paint job not professional.

They Keldor has little spots where they completely missed the hair with the paint.
